Adding more info on myself here since I know theres a delay in approving profiles and I get a 404 error anyway when I click on edit profile.....  A little more about me: At this juncture in my life, travelling just is not in the cards.  My days off are mondays and thursdays which doesn't give me a whole lot of opportunity to spend extra time in transit,  and after being hit by an intoxicated driver and spending 16 days in icu, and having part of my lung removed, I have some pretty intense feelings about driving sometimes.   I also have two dogs and live alone so..... Like I said.... pretty limited.  Im in the process of applying for disability which is not a thing I ever foresaw becoming necessary when I pictured what my life was going to be.  But I already had rods down 3/4 of my back from surgery 20 years ago, and that accident has  caused degenerative problems with three of the five unfused levels, so Im keeping going by a mix of meds, massages, frequent injections, and humor.    I work as a dog trainer currently, having gotten certified as a medical biller and working in it for a while, I realized that I couldn't spend my life at a desk as it was letting my back fail more quickly.    I love working dogs, including my own who Im getting ready to compete at the next level up this fall.       I also am a lifelong horse lover and have shown previously at the national level.  But this was another thing that the accident has impacted so right now Im trying to decide whether to sell my horse, a teenaged Appaloosa curmudgeon named Sam, or not.    In the past I loved running trails and got up to a half marathon.  I also spent a lot of time in my favorite yoga studio.   I miss both quite a bit.    In terms of convictions, I lean quite hard left, and this is a core piece of my identity.   I dont subscribe to any one origanized religion but feel like there has to be something out there....   There.  More info has been given.   Hope I make sense
